81. Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was asked about performing Wudū' for camel meat. He said: "Perform Wudū' for it." He was asked about Wudū' after eating goat meat. So he said: "Do not perform Wudū' for it." (Sahīh)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Jābir bin Samurah, and Usaid bin Ḥuṣair.
Abū 'Eisā said: Al-Hajjāj bin Arṭāh reported this Hadīth from 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdullāh, from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abū Laila, from Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib. And this is the saying of Aḥmad and Iṣhāq.
'Ubaidah Aḏ-Ḍabbi narrated it from 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdullāh Ar-Rāzī, from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abū Laila, from Dhul-Ghurrah (Al-Juhani).
And Ḥammad bin Salamah reported this Hadīth from Al-Hajjāj bin Arṭāh, but he made a mistake in it. He said (in it): "From 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abū Laila, from his father from Usaid bin Ḥuṣair.
And what is correct is from 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdullāh Ar-Rāzī from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abū Laila from Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib.
Ishāq said: "What is most correct for this topic are two Aḥādīth from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ: The Ḥādīth of Al-Barā' and the Ḥādīth of Jābir bin Samurah."
[And this is the saying of Aḥmad and Ishāq. It has been reported from some of the people of knowledge among the Tabi'īn and others, that they did not hold the view that one is to perform Wudū' for eating camel meat. And this is the saying of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī and the people of Al-Kūfah.]

Commentary
The opinion of Imām Aḥmad and Ishāq is strong from the view of evidence too, said Imām Nawawi; and Abū Bakr bin Al-'Arabī also preferred it ('Āri'datul-Aḥwadhī, vol. 1, p: 112); This is also the opinion and Fatwā of Ahlul-Ḥādīth, which is based on the authentic Aḥādīth. However, according to other A'immah the status of camel meat too is the same as other lawful meat. This opinion is contradictory to the Ḥādīth, so it is weak.
